Despite the wide use of immune checkpoint inhibition for the treatment of melanoma, the mechanisms leading to long-term stable disease are incompletely understood. Patients with metastatic melanoma who had received ipilimumab alone or ipilimumab plus nivolumab 2+years prior and attained at least 6 months of stable disease were identified. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was performed.

Purpose: Programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are frontline therapy in advanced melanoma. Severe immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) often require immunosuppressive treatment with glucocorticoids (GCCs), but GCC use and its correlation with patient survival outcomes during anti-PD-1 monotherapy remains unclear.

Experimental Design: In this multicenter retrospective analysis, patients treated with anti-PD-1 monotherapy between 2009 and 2019 and detailed GCC use, data were identified from five independent cohorts, with median follow-up time of 206 weeks.
